Cautions for use

Each individual WAVEDRUM unit will differ slightly
depending on the type of head used, how it is tuned or
played, and how it has been maintained. Please take note
of the following points as well as the preceding "Cautions
for safety."
Do not place heavy objects on the head for long periods
If pressure is applied to the surface of the head for a long
period, the rubber cushion and sensor under the head will
become deformed, and this can harm the playability of
the instrument.
Avoid placing heavy objects on the head or placing the
WAVEDRUM upside down for long periods.
Feedback
The sensors in the WAVEDRUM detect the vibrations that
occur in the head and body when you strike the WAVE-
DRUM with your hand or a drum stick. In some situa-
tions, the WAVEDRUM may also act as a microphone and
pick up loud sounds from nearby high output speakers in
addition to vibrations produced by directly striking the
WAVEDRUM.
Especially when monitoring the WAVEDRUM with a
large PA setup, the WAVEDRUM sounds emitted by the
speakers can be transmitted through the floor or stand (or
directly through the air) and be picked up once again by
the WAVEDRUM.
When such vibrations are detected by the WAVEDRUM
and sent back through the speakers, feedback will occur,
and an uncontrollable and continuous sound will result.
Feedback places severe stress on amps and speakers, and
can cause serious damage to equipment. Thus, when a
powerful monitoring system is used, the equalizers and
limiters of the PA system should be adjusted to prevent
the WAVEDRUM from producing feedback, similar to
preventing feedback for vocal and acoustic instrument
mics.
Data handling
Unexpected malfunctions can result in the loss of mem-
ory contents. Korg cannot accept any responsibility for
any loss or damage which you may incur as a result of
data loss.
